I have seen this recipe or very close to it in other places. I plan to take a stab at it in a few weeks but using ingredients I have on-hand (carafa special II instead of debittered black and a blend of British chocolate and pale chocolate, Magnum instead of Nugget). I plan to age it a whiskey barrel.

First I'm going to make a low gravity 5 gal batch and use the cake for this batch (Pacman yeast).

I've never had the real thing, not even the reg breakfast stout nor CBS.

I am ordering the grains for this and will be brewing it this weekend, hopefully! If it makes it to me by Friday. I wonder if anyone has actually come close to the real thing. This sounds like it will be better than my previous attempts.

I just got around to brewing this up on Sunday. It is the thickest, muddiest looking wort I have ever brewed up, EVER!!!

Wait til you see the yeast cake/trub!

There's going to be a thick layer of chocolate pudding on top of that yeast cake. And with a beer this big you prob don't want to wash/save the yeast anyway.

I'm brewing mine this coming weekend using the washed cake from a 1.048 OG ale. I think I'm gonna bail on the 'Kentucky' part of it and just make a regular Breakfast Stout.
